Here is my addition to the noise about the moon. You can not be known for taking a photo each day and not capture an event like this. Or so I was told by so many people. The amount of texts and messages last night asking me 1. how to shoot it, 2. where to shoot it and 3. when my photos will be up, were humbling. The moon is one of those secrets in the photography world, it seems like it would be hard to shoot, but (don’t tell anyone) it is not. As long as you have the right tools. With a long lens, a tripod, a timer/cable release and one quick change on the camera to spot meter you got yourself a decent moon shot. The thing is if you are missing one of those ingredients, it might be difficult. I am lucky to have all those things, so I am lucky to have these photos. And now I add them to the mass collection of other Super, Blood, Full, Red, Moon photos released in the last 24 hours. It may be an occurrence that only happens once every 24 years, but I am sure we documented it enough it could skip the next appearance and we would be fine.

I will let you in on a secret, you got to promise not to tell anyone, I am not a fan of photos of the moon. Feels good to let someone know (that is if anyone is actually reading this). Moon photos are, just moon photos Especially full moon photos. There is nothing to put it in prospective – when shot above the horizon. I am not at a beach, or wide open space most the time so, it is limited to just shooting up, at-least in places like that you can get it coming “up” to show it against something. I get asked “Is that the super-moon?” Eh, sure? With nothing next to it, can’t you say every moon shot is the super moon. Who can tell? Now, I like this one, it is not really a moon shot. It is some leaves back-lit. Or the one below where I used a roof to cut the moon in a way we usually do not see. I needed the change up to enjoy them again. But for you fans (and there are many of you) I did the traditional, straight on, ho-hum, full circle, moon photo. It was 32x bigger last night in that shot… trust me, it was, I mean, can you prove me wrong? I didn’t think so.
